A cancer diagnosis is never easy and can be life-changing. However, Adena Oncology strives to make your diagnosis easier by providing you with top-tier cancer care right in your own community, so you can focus on your treatment without sacrificing quality or expertise.

Our team of physicians, nurses, caregivers, and patient navigators provides the same level of support you would expect from larger facilities in big cities. What sets us apart is our dedication to tailoring treatments to each person’s unique circumstances. We review each case holistically, creating treatment plans that are guided by a team of experts and that surpass national standards.

Beyond treatment, our comprehensive services, including nutritional guidance and advanced pain management, help you through recovery. You'll also have access to a nurse navigator who streamlines appointments, answers questions, and provides personal support throughout your journey.

With multiple locations in south central and southern Ohio, quality care is always close by. Plus, our oncology team works closely with family physicians and referring providers, ensuring thorough and coordinated care for every patient.

Specialty Programs or Treatments, notable partnerships?

What technologies are used to help treat patients?

National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines: Our team of experts utilizes the most up-to-date cancer care recommendations based on your individual diagnosis. 

Precision radiation therapy: An advanced cancer treatment that employs high-energy X-rays or electrons to deliver a broad array of powerful cancer treatments with pinpoint accuracy and precision, potentially speeding up time spent in treatment. Adena will soon become the only facility in southern Ohio to offer this capability, making our cancer center a destination for advanced radiotherapy.

Genetic testing and counseling: All new cancer patients have access to genetic testing and counseling through a partnership with The Ohio State University James Cancer Center. Patients at Adena are invited to share their family health history. This information is analyzed by advanced technology in collaboration with our genetics counseling partner, Ambry’s CARE Program, to identify any potential genetic mutations linked to increased cancer risk. This screening can help direct the patient's treatment plan and/or alert other family members who could be at risk. 

Additionally, through our partnership with the Columbus Community Clinical Oncology Research Program (NCORP), patients can access groundbreaking research and potentially participate in clinical trials for innovative cancer treatments.

What support groups are available? 

Young Women’s Breast Cancer Group is a support group for women 50 or younger diagnosed with breast cancer, offering a platform to share experiences and find encouragement throughout the diagnosis and recovery journey. 

I Can Cope is a complimentary educational initiative that provides cancer patients and caregivers with essential information about diagnosis, treatment, and coping strategies. Organized by the American Cancer Society, these community classes address numerous cancer-related concerns. 

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA partnership is a 12-week, evidence-based, physical activity and well-being program that helps people affected by cancer reach their health goals in a safe and supportive environment.
